In short

Daily Brightness podcast episode mixing a post-match chat (“Daily Brightness derby”), WSL results roundup, relationship dilemma advice, and gratitude.

Guests

No external guests. Hosts are Rachel Daly and Millie (Rachel’s co-host; also mentions “Chelsea” and “Sam Kerr” in match context).

Guest backgrounds (as referenced)

Rachel Daly is a footballer (captain; discusses playing positions and match incidents). Millie is also a footballer/host and speaks as a teammate/friend. Sam Kerr is a returning Chelsea striker after 634 days injured; Alessia Russo, Fran Kirby, Jess Park, Emily van Egmond, and other WSL players are discussed.

Key claims

The hosts say their derby performance was strong despite a 3-1 loss; chances created could have changed the score. Sam Kerr’s return and 100th goal is framed as a major morale boost. WSL is portrayed as increasingly competitive.

Notable examples

Derby moments include offside/miscommunication with the referee, set-piece goals conceded, and a near-miss after a waved-on play. WSL roundup highlights include Man United 5-1, Arsenal 5-1 vs West Ham, Tottenham’s “Dale’s” goal, and Liverpool’s surprising scoreline. Relationship advice centers on a cat allergy dilemma: compromise and allergy treatment rather than ending the relationship or immediately getting rid of the cat.

1:31Rachel Daly:have we been on the podcast yet after one of our games I don't think we have have we no oh no you might not see me on Monday or you might not see me really who knows

1:53Rachel Daly:I'm not going on the podcast for the last. So I just wanted to clear up that. When Rachel steps on that pitch, she is the enemy.

2:10Rachel Daly:Hello, everyone. Welcome back to Daily Brightness. We've got an interesting one. This is the first time we are coming on the pod after a Daily Brightness derby. But first, all the good stuff. Our usual check-ins. Rach, how are you? How's life? Tired. Really tired today. But I've been really busy today. Like, I've literally not stopped, but... Don't you think that's what days off are, though? It's like the only day you get to do stuff. Yeah, I don't... I just said that. I literally don't get a day off anymore. No. Probably my own fault, though. I just, like, cram everything in. But I'm just like, after training on a normal day, you can't be arsed to do anything, can you?

2:44Rachel Daly:No, you just rest, and then your day off, you, like, you feel bad if you're not doing a million things. I'm literally going to be yawning my way through there. That's all right. You keep drinking your cup of tea. How are you? Yeah, I'm good, thank you. Like you said, a little bit tired. Been rushing around everywhere today. But yeah, good, really good. Good family check-ins. It's been a nice day and it was lovely to see you, of course. Always nice to see you. It is. Do you know what I love? I love it when we play because everyone gets such good content of us. Like the little hug before the game or like the catch-up after.

3:18Rachel Daly:Also, Chelsea's purse was cute, wasn't it? They did that last time. That was really nice. I really appreciated that, actually. Yeah, I like that. Shout out to your social team, whoever did that, because that was cute. But also, why does it look like I'm literally about to plant a kiss on you? Well, you know what happened on the last episode? But it was really cute, like really cute bits before and after. And it's funny because we're always dead serious, but we still, it's nice to have a check-in. The tunnel's like a good time to have a check-in. When your mates are in the tunnel, like you always just say hi.

3:47Rachel Daly:Like it's not, it's like that like last bit of normalness. relaxing before you actually go out isn't it but as soon as you walked up i was like oh resty i think i said something about your hair because i feel like your hair's really blonde yeah i've had it different this time just gone a little bit blonder because i've just i've been putting it off and putting it off you know what i'm like i have to be in the mood to get my hair done if i'm not in the mood i'm not getting it done but yeah it was really nice to see you obviously not nice to see you win but and to see little orson after the game see the fam oh that was cute wasn't it anyone that doesn't know he was rachel was like um awesome this is anti rachel's best friend and then on three for the camera he went besties it was so he's grown so much honestly it came back to mine afterwards and i was just like you're literally like a little proper little human now like yeah like a proper little boy and everyone's like yeah but they've always been a little boy and i'm like yeah i know but he's like a proper little boy yeah it's like a proper one now.

4:46Rachel Daly:He's so cute. I'm so glad he came and you got to see him which was nice. I know, bless him. He was so cute and it's good to see your brother as well. Yeah, I know. It's been a long time. Not seeing him for a long, long time. So, lovely to check in. Really nice to check in. I love that. I love us. I love us. Oh, my neck hurts. I think you've done something to me. It weren't me and you know it weren't me that pushed you into the goalpost either. No, I know it weren't. But also, who was it and why you pushed me into the goalpost? I don't know, but I came to check on you and I would tap you on your leg.

5:19Rachel Daly:I went, you're okay, bestie. And then I was like, oh shit, what did she think? Because it was me that did it. No, I knew it weren't you, but I was like, why have you just thrown me into a pose? And the ref went, oh, you're offside. I went, I'm not bothered if we're offside. You don't just push one into a goal pose. I could see you saying it to her when you were sipping on your luteus. I've got a bruise all over my arm. I thought it were your head. So did our doctor, because he comes running on your head. It's not your head, is it? And I was like, no, it's my knee. but also what about when I ran back on the pitch and we nearly scored bestie I said to referee any chance you know the fourth was apologising on the side she literally she was on the side she went wave her arm wave her arm so she waved her arm I thought yeah I'm in here honestly I said I looked over at night and I went Rach weren't there when I passed that ball when that left my foot she weren't there so I was like unless I'm blind or something and they were like no no the ref waved her on and then even the ref was like oh sorry miscommunication there and I was like ref that's bang out of line mate can you imagine if you'd have gone on and scored I'd have loved it could you imagine what people would have been saying you've passed it to me oh god that'd have been another one fix fix Millie's fixing shut up I'm not anyway let's go let's talk about the game yesterday shall we yeah how fun tough game bestie woohoo do you know what I'm really proud of us because I thought we played really well you did play really well and you's created a lot of chance as well it was just that final final bit and for us I think first half was really really difficult like we just lacked a little bit of like intensity and like struggled to like get past the press a little bit and like get that final thing like it was it was really really hard I said this to everyone before though like playing against you it's always a hard game we've never ever had an easy game against you yeah because it was 1-0 at Villa Park last time like last minute of the game yeah like last minute it's never been easy and it's always so transitional like it's so like bang bang bang bang bang we'll beat you one time but no I genuinely was like I was really proud and I think do you know what it's like a sound like coming out at half time and you make three subs like if we forced you to make three subs at half time like we're doing something right do you know what I mean yeah but yeah just disappointed I think because I don't think 3-1 truly reflects the game it was actually really like a really good game like it was really like intense and yeah I enjoyed the game probably exciting I mean I hope it was exciting for people to watch but it weren't just yeah I don't think it was all one-sided by no means I think it I hope it was a good game for the fans to watch but obviously I know you're disappointed but I'm buzzing we got another win but I think again another example of how hard it is going to be this season and how hard each game is going to be we've seen that with the other results as well Did you think I was going to be in the nine or not?

7:56Rachel Daly:Yeah I thought you'd have maybe gone a little bit similar to last year where you was like the pin-up someone was stretching the back line and then you would have been like the pocket one I didn't expect you to be in the ten but I think that shape really suits you Yeah, I think we did. I'm really proud of us. I thought we did really well yesterday. Obviously, like I said, it's disappointing to lose, but to lose 3-1 when I wouldn't really say it was a 3-1 game and then concede two set pieces, which is even more frustrating. But, you know, there is a lot of positives. And if you look at the chances you've created, like any other day you put them in the back of the net, it's a completely different situation.

8:30Rachel Daly:Coming forward, I put out time yesterday. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We were like, just kept doing square balls and giving it to you. but I think it was overall I think you know it was a really good game and I think it's although it's a loss for you guys it is still a positive performance and you play like that against anyone else and put your chances where it's a different game it's three points to you guys and we're going home with a loss but yeah it was I just love seeing you I love that walk out I love the tunnel like it's so special yeah like we were just chatting in the walk out as if like there wasn't fans there or there wasn't we were it was just me and you yeah And then, yeah, when we walk out to like shake hands with the ref, I just have like a little grin on my face.

9:13Rachel Daly:I'm like, oh, bestie. I know. And the ref kept telling me, I'd just spoke to you. And I was like, Rach, are you far side? Are we far side? He was like, you far side. And then the ref was like, we're going to go to the, we're going to stay in. They're going to go there. I said, no, no, no. I've spoke to Rach. We're going to the far side. You'll stay in there. She was like, oh, change of plan, change of plan. I said, we've got it undercover. Don't worry. We've got it under control. She said something. She was giggling. I can't remember what she said because we were like because she was like and obviously you two I can't remember what she said but she was obviously laughing knowing we were best friends yeah I can't remember her wording but it was funny yeah it was made me laugh that was cute but yeah I do like that moment obviously like I don't think I'll ever take moments like that for granted like being up there with my best friend no being captains like both both leading our sides is something that obviously we both take so much pride in and like yeah it's really nice it's like I can't even describe it like I said last time it's like a full circle moment but it's just like that extra bit of pride that you've got and it's just like I'm leading my team you're leading your team game on I think you're just proud for each other as well like this part of me that's always always proud like for you and of you and knowing I think when you when you know what someone's gone through and what they've pushed through and everything that they've overcome and everything that they deserve I think when you see him get that moment as well it's like it's different because no one really knows the struggles unless you actually know that person.

10:34Rachel Daly:Yeah. So, that's really cute. It's really nice to see. I'm the same though, like, seeing you walk out as a captain, it just still gets me every time. It's just mad to think that, like, we were going to see. And it's so funny because I just look at us like mill and rage, like, dumb and dumb. But then I'm like, we were just two young girls trying to break into an England team, like, didn't have a clue what to do. Faffing around. Captains of our team. Yeah, it's a really nice feeling, but... It is. It's really good. Obviously really good for Sam to come on and score a hundredth goal I think as soon as that ball dropped in the box I thought 100 % that's going to be Sam Kerr like he's going to fall there I know it but no as hard as it is to lose and not take the three points as if you think about it as a footballer's perspective and a personal level like to see what I mean obviously I've not seen what she's gone through as closely as you have but to be out for that long what was it 634 days 634 days I didn't realise how long it was and then to come back and yeah, it must be a nice feeling for her and all of you guys as well.

11:34Rachel Daly:Yeah, I mean, one, what a player to have back. But again, seeing what someone's gone through and you're just about to come back and then you have a setback, you're just about to come back and then you have a setback and then there's all this pressure building up outside. Like, when's I'm back? When's I'm back? When's I'm back? Fans are like, we want to back. And it's like building, building, building. And then, you know, even still, like people will say, oh, it was like a scrappy goal, but you still have to put it in the back of the net. She still has to make herself available. Yeah, but no one's going to look back and go, oh, Sam, what was your 100th goal for Chelsea like?

12:07Rachel Daly:No, exactly. And to do it on your return. And also, I don't think she gives a flying fuck what her goal was like. No, exactly. It's in the back of the net. She's got that feeling back. And that's the hardest part. Getting that first goal as well is always going to be difficult. But yeah, I said to her after the game, I was like, so good to see you back. And obviously, congratulations on scoring. So just think when you know, I think obviously I've probably known a bit more about her journey through you and how close you guys are. But yeah, I think just as a personal level, you care about people.

12:40Rachel Daly:Do you know what I mean? You do. It is weird that we all have this connection. When someone's been out injured in the league, you do have that. Weirdly, we all have a connection whether we know each other or not. And then when you see people come back, it's like a little bit of joy. You're like, oh, I'm really happy to see that person back. because you don't see him as a player, you see him as a person and you just know they've gone through No, and you know what? What a phenomenal player as well. It's exciting for the league to have someone like her back. 100%. You even see a movement when she's back on but even been on the pitch, I think, what, 15 minutes?

13:12Rachel Daly:Not every sub comes on and scores let alone after 634 days off. It's a real boost for us on a personal level but I think just as an individual, if I went through what she'd gone through, I'd be so proud of myself for overcoming everything and still being able to like come back to this level and then come on and score like 100 goals. Jesus, like it's ridiculous. So yeah, Sha, SK, I think it's been amazing. Like everything she's done and overcome is, yeah, incredible. And hopefully it's a frightening moment for all the defenders out there because SK is back. I'm sure it will be. But yeah, moving on to the, let's do a little WSL roundup.

13:54Rachel Daly:Yeah, what did you think to the results? I mean I like came in after the game and I like you know you sit there like pissing about my phone and I saw Man United result and I was like what? 5-1? You did say this though with London City I know we did say it's a bold statement and it's a lot easier said than done to be like we want to compete we want to do this but getting a hell of a lot of new players you have to click together you have to gel you have to bond it has to work but what I will say is they've had a tough run so far Arsenal and Man United, like two of the best sides in the league to start off against them.

14:29Rachel Daly:It's not going to be easy, is it? But I just thought it's a bit of a statement win for Man United, that 5-1. That's a ruthless performance from them. Well, how many goals now in two games? It's mad. Happy for Jess Park as well. Oh, so happy when that went in. A little footwork as well. It's a great ball. Really happy for Jess. I think it just goes to show as well when you take that leap of faith and you take that decision to move out of something, maybe outside your comfort zone a little bit and do what's best for you. She's now flying and thriving in a new environment and getting the minutes.

15:00Rachel Daly:And yeah, it's really nice to see because she deserves it as well. She's such a good player and such a lovely person. She works so hard. It's nice to see her doing well. And oh my God, did you see that Dale's goal from Tottenham? Yeah, what the hell? Whoa, whoa. I wasn't expecting her to hit that one when I saw the highlight and I was like, oh, all right, fair enough. Finished. Wasn't expecting that at all. Yeah, fair play to you, love. Fair play to you, love. I think we're going to be seeing more and more of this season. I think it's going to be so exciting this year. So exciting. Yeah, let's expose all the centre-backs.

15:37Rachel Daly:Arsenal, West Ham 5-1. I was a bit surprised by that because I thought going to West Ham, obviously never easy. No. But I feel like they've always been Arsenal's bogey team. Like every time I've watched Arsenal there, I've always thought Arsenal struggled. They did start well, though. I watched the start of it it's but again it's that thing where you don't take your chances against big teams they've always got there's always like a 60 % chance that they're going to score alright cool especially with a team of Arsenal let's just rub salt in the wounds you little wang no I'm saying with a team of Arsenal's talent and capabilities if you leave do you know what I mean if you're on top like West Ham were on top and they were getting chances but it was just that final product like just weren't there and when you're on top you have to punish top teams it's the way you beat them that's how you beat top teams and I'm always oh you know what I'm like I'm always happy when Alessia scores but her goal was unbelievable oh my god didn't even look at the goal I was like that's Alessia Russo proper rocket that touch I'd finish I love it when her celebration was cute as well do you know why she did it I just watched a video this morning of why she did it I didn't see her celebration a celebration she did an arrow and it's for the I just watched a video it's for the mini gooners and she was like some of the minis were asking her to like make up a new celebration so she did it for them oh that's cute I love stuff like that I love it when it's like yeah that's what she said she went it's for the mini gooners that's really cute really really cute and City game I watched that game right and I thought like obviously we played Brighton the week before and I think Brighton are good me like they they play nice football really nice football but obviously Fran came off half time is she injured I don't know I think it was a bat because I remember seeing on the get I took a bat I can't get up oh I think it was a bat but yeah that's a big blow isn't it when you lose someone of Fran's calibre at half time yeah Fran's goal was I thought she took that really well yeah good bit of play actually but yeah again City ruthless in those chances tight game though I think there's apart from really London City like all the others have not really on the West Ham one they're not really high scoring games everything's close I do think the quality has gotten better was really shocked by the Liverpool score though I just don't understand I need to like see the game but it's good like Emily Van Eegman back in the WSL again like getting on the score sheet she's a good player I really really like playing with her at West Ham she'll give a lot of experience as well yeah then one of our of little ones from Villa who is assigned for them from Rangers this year she got won the match yesterday so happy to see that but yeah I probably need to well I'm sure we'll be seeing the game this week because we've got Liverpool on the weekend so yeah interesting I think they're in a bit of a tricky patch but again that's what happens when you make changes new manager you know lost a couple players change is hard like it doesn't always go well like it can go either way like it really really can so which is wild because they did well last year that's what I mean to go yeah they did I think even last year they took points off big teams and they they weren't I think they were what mid-table maybe can't remember but I think to start yeah they'll definitely be looking for a bounce back but I mean it's still early on isn't it we're only on week two it's going to be interesting Besty very very interesting but again I think good to see yeah growth of the game and more competitiveness you know top to bottom within the league.

20:55Rachel Daly:welcome back everybody here's to the second part obviously we had such a lovely agony ant letter last week that had a great response so we've got another one for you this week i don't know why people think that me and millie are just like relationship experts right but we will give Give it a go. We will give you our best shot. Okay, so this is dilemma number one we've got here. Hey, Millie and Rach, I've been dating this guy for a few months and it's going really well. And we've recently made it official. Congratulations to you guys. Congrats. The only problem is he's allergic to cats and I have a cat.

21:36Rachel Daly:I told him from the start that she's a non-negotiable and he said it would be okay. but recently his symptoms have been getting worse whenever he stays at mine. Should I carry on the relationship or call it quits before it gets more serious and we start thinking about living together? What if he makes me choose between him and my cat? This is from a confused cat mama. I don't know why I find this so funny, sorry. That's a really, really sticky situation to be in. See, I don't think it is. Well, you'd say get rid of cat, wouldn't you? I'm a bit savage on this, and not because I'm a dog lover, but what I'm going to say is I'm going to put this very, very bluntly because I'm going to give everyone a reality check.

22:21Rachel Daly:Cats don't live as long as humans. Yeah, but Millie, right, not being funny, okay? And if this is your soulmate, Rach, imagine meeting your soulmate, right? Yeah, but okay, right, okay, put it this way. Then what are you going to do? Well, what about if you have a child, right? You've got, not even a child, your dogs, right? You meet someone and they say they're allergic. What do you do? You're not getting... If you ever told me you're getting... No, no. No, no. If you ever, ever told me you were getting rid of your dogs for somebody you've just met, I would literally not speak to you again. I would shut them in a different room.

22:56Rachel Daly:I would start putting boundaries in place. And if that doesn't work, then you're going to have to come to the crossroads of what do I do? Like, keep them off the bed. Like, do you know what I mean? Yeah, but you know what I say? They were here first. So you're not my son of a... Yeah, but imagine this is... No, they're not your soulmate. If they're not willing... Also, just take a tablet, get an injection, get an allergy pill.

23:18Rachel Daly:All right, maybe saying get rid of the cat was a bit savage. I think, like... I am a dog lover. Exactly. Like, you wouldn't give up your dogs for someone you've just met. No, but I would put boundaries in place. I would make sure I'd keep them off the sofa. I'd limit the amount of, like, contact that they could potentially have. But I also would suggest you get an injection, an allergy injection, or an allergy pill. yeah like you can't but you can make you can make compromises but he also needs to make compromises because i just think yeah you've made a commitment but how old is the cat i would love to know how old the cat is if the cat's like really really really really old yeah he might still only be on his first life he's got nine i'm in there the thing is right i just think right if i've made if i've made the decision to get a dog that i absolutely love or a cat that i absolutely love I've made a conscious choice to know however long they're with me they're getting all the love in the world they were there first so I'm not saying end the relationship but I agree with you you need to put measures into place that compromise compromise yeah compromise but so does he also what's he saying why did he say that he's he's okay with it and then he's all of a sudden got worse symptoms no is he lying to get in her house or what are you lying or what no I think what she's saying is he was saying it's not a problem like he's prepared to suffer a little bit for the relationship however well that's good then I like him it's obviously taking a turn and he's having severe reactions

24:46oh dear

24:47Rachel Daly:I can't believe me and Rachel Daly are sat here giving advice relationship advice but I think the moral of the story is yeah compromise is the key compromise you don't need to end the relationship and you don't need to get rid of your cat. And also, why can't you go and stay at his? Yeah, good idea. I also think, though, getting rid of the cat would be my last resort. I think that's nasty. Last resort, but also, how old is the cat? I'm not saying get rid of it, but you can hang in, like, if it's really, really, really old, then. What? You thought I meant to put the cat down, didn't you? You bitch.

25:28Rachel Daly:That's not what I'm saying. Right. a good good dilemma good dilemma to bring to us but hopefully our solutions are helping I don't know why people think we're good at this I think end line we don't really know we've not really got don't take our advice and think it's like golden like fairy dust and it's going to work because honestly no because we're just trying we're just we're just winging our way through this life but I would say compromise can you potentially stay at ease to minimize contact time with the cat secondly as he took a tablet or had an allergy injection because I know they have them because my sister has them.

26:04Rachel Daly:But I would say don't get rid of the cat but also don't get rid of him. But get rid of him before you get rid of the cat. Okay, thank you. Okay, thank you. Next dilemma. Welcome back to Daily Brightness Relationship Advice Show. That is all for the relationship advice from us for the week. But seriously, I hope it does work out. Yeah, me too. Don't get rid of the cat. Anyway, moving on to gratitude. Obviously, we always say one thing we're grateful for. So Millie, hit me. What is yours? What are you grateful for today? Do you know what? I'm really, really grateful for FaceTime because it is the way I connect with my nephews.

26:40Rachel Daly:It's the way I connect with my mom, my dad. Like I see my family and I had the best little phone call with Albie and my mom today. And he was so cute. And he was just saying like, love you. Drive safe, Auntie Miller. Be safe. Like it was just so, so cute. and yeah, I just think those little things can be taken for granted. And I know we all moan like, oh, we hate technology, go back to the old ways. But without that, I would be so disconnected to my family and God, I don't even know if my nephews would know who I am or what I look like. So yeah, a face time a day keeps the pain away. Nice, I like that.

27:17Rachel Daly:Really nice. I agree actually. Mine would be like my family because I think sometimes like my brother just randomly the day before the game was like I'm coming to your game like me Annabella and Alston coming to the game and I was like it just like gave me a bit of a lift that I didn't know I needed like I was just like oh how amazing like running up to him after the game and like seeing his little face and yeah it's just it's priceless like it's a hard week for you though exactly I think it's been a really difficult week for me this week so you know to have that support system like have my brother there on a tough week was really nice.

27:57Rachel Daly:And then to have my little nephew, I just love him so much. And he's just seeing him grow. He's so cute. Yeah, he's just so sweet. It's the same thing as you. I love you, Auntie Rachel. And it just like takes every bit of pain you've ever had away. Which is really funny because I'm sat here and I just realised that he was playing in my office yesterday. I left his little shirt and look how cute. Oh, look at him. So I need to give that a good wash because there seems to be chocolate all over it. not like awesome i know bless him but yeah same sort of thing this week i think it's a bit of a heartfelt one this week wasn't it it is it is it's i know it's been a tough week for you and again just to carry yourself the way that you have and but i think sometimes we need little pickups more than ever we don't actually think we're doing we think we're fine and we think we're coping and we're dealing well and then that one little thing comes along and you're like holy the shit i am struggling a little bit and yeah i think me and you are very similar in the respect that we don't we struggle letting people in and letting people help and we just crack on with life and absolutely yeah yeah we're good we're good like just let me let me deal with it kind of thing but we're not and then all of a sudden it hits you and you're like yeah absolute what do i do freaking niagara falls down my face like randomly as well like there's i have random outbursts of like emotion i think it gets worse as i get older oh yeah i don't know what this 30s is about but it's awful it's horrendous I kept saying to my mum am I menopause earlier I said that the other day I was like I think I'm going through menopause I said my emotions are completely out of check when I should be happy I feel sad when I should be sad I feel happy and I'm like what the fuck weirdos weirdos but that is it for Daily Brightness guys again massive shout out to everyone that has already subscribed if you haven't I'm going to say it again click the damn button what you're waiting for we could be giving you all sorts of advice.
